get a good meter that does ,peak,rms,and K-system.i use the elementalaudio XXL meter.
i use a dedicated attenuator,(but you can use your RME output attenuator and put markings on it where 0 and -6db are) that is calibradet 85 db at 0 for k-20
and 77 db at -6 for k-14.
when you are going 2 mix ,you put your k-meter on the 2buss.
put it in k-20 or k-14 and your good to go.
setup your mix so that the meters hit 0 on the k-meter.
this means that you are hearing 85 db at 0 in k-20
and 77 db at -6 in k-14.
PS:83 db spl is only one monitor, if you combine 2 monitors you get 85 db spl  |
Thanks a million Ravian for your prompt reply. Just to clarify some stuff, so i'll insert the Inspector on track of the pink noise, play it and i should read -20 rite? I am using the RME digicheck and i've set it to K-20 and on this i should also read -20, correct me if im wrong. how bout the level in my main cubase outs?
Next im not quite sure what you mean by the RME Output attenuator, can i reduce the volume on the output of the total mix mixer? what about the output of the RA300 amplifier powering the NS10s, should i set the RME outputs at 0 and then set the outputs of the RA300 till i get 85db?
85db is way too loud , is there a way to mix at a lower level and yet attain the same calibrated results?
Many apologies for the newbie questions. Just wanna get it right but it seems so confusing
